Although, it is beneficial to utilise your lawn fertiliser at the best time of year for your lawn, choose the best lawn fertiliser for your lawn and use the right amount. Our experienced team has compiled some of their top tips and tricks for receiving the best results from your lawn fertiliser below.
Tip 1: Use your lawn fertiliser at the best time of year for your lawn
Generally, utilising a lawn fertiliser in autumn, early spring, and during summer is the best regular fertilising care you can provide for your lawn year-round. Your lawn may require some extra attention and fertiliser after the warm weather in summer, although it’s best to monitor your lawn to see how it is developing before deciding to use more fertiliser or leave your lawn how it is.
Turf development is the most effective when lawn fertiliser is used at the best times for the lawn. One of the main elements of lawn fertiliser is nitrogen, which works to promote turf development. The nitrogen in lawn fertiliser effectively processes for approximately 3 weeks after application, which means timing the use of your grass fertiliser is crucial for the development of your turf!
Tip 2: Choose the best lawn fertiliser for your lawn
There are many different types of turf and fertilisers to choose from which can make it difficult to know what is the best lawn fertiliser for your specific lawn. The main active ingredients in lawn fertilisers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium which aid in turf development and growth.
Choosing a lawn fertiliser that has the best ratio of ingredients for your variety of lawns is important. A top law fertiliser our experts at Andrew’s Turf recommend is a LawnPride Premium Lawn Fertiliser as they are packed with the essential nutrients your lawn needs to thrive and look lush year-round and promote development and growth. A LawnPride Premium Lawn Fertiliser is an organic lawn fertiliser which is perfect as a slow-release fertiliser, which suits most lawn types such as Couch, Buffalo, Zoysia and many more.
Our experienced team at Andrew’s Turf Supplies can assist you with any questions you may have about lawn fertilisers and how to choose the best lawn fertiliser for your lawn.
Tip 3: Use the right amount of lawn fertiliser for your lawn
Using the right amount of lawn fertiliser and not going overboard or using it too regularly is best practice for the health of your lawn. Generally, once your grass has established itself, you should only need to use grass fertiliser approximately 3-4 times per year.
Overusing lawn fertiliser can cause damage to the lawn and plants as the lawn fertiliser can burn the roots of plants, automatically making them more likely to receive damage from external factors such as insects. Excess amounts of lawn fertiliser may also negatively impact and contaminate the water supply around the lawn.
